Although Peter was my younger brother, I still looked up to him as a Big Brother who was always there to help and guide me through some of the tougher times throughout my life. I respected his opinions, and loved him for his sense of humour which was always at the ready, quick and sharp-witted, and keeping all those around him in giggling fits of laughter at his many tales of past antics and little tricks he'd mischieviously arranged for his many friends and family to experience. Actually, my brother was quite the clown. He loved to make people laugh. And he loved a good laugh himself. Having now returned from his funeral and the last goodbyes have been said, It's heartbreaking to return to reality and face a future without my brother Peter in it. But he will always be with us all, - for he left behind a legacy of love and humour and acts of kindness that will live with us all forever in our memories. His being here has touched so very many others, and I am so very proud to have known and loved such a man...my dear brother, Peter Richard Palin. Love Always...Ann-Elizabeth Wed; Jan. 26, 2005 - Clearwater, Florida

Dear Lois It was with great sadness and shock that I heard of Peter's passing. This note is to provide you with some solace and to share my deepest sorrow and condolences for your loss. My relationship with Peter was through my brother-in-law, John Henderson. The introduction to Peter was through hunting deer and becoming part of a fraternity of hunting buddies. We became a team that reflected on the times spent together in northern Ontario. A team that could tell a hunt or gun story with little introductions because we just knew. A trait developed by the hunting fraternity. Although the time spent with Peter was relatively small and limited to our specific passion, it span well over 10 years. John, Peter and I spent many years hunting unsuccessfully from John's cottage on Grass Lake. That was until 1996. As I write this note, I'm looking at some photo's that John framed for me and which I have had up since 1996 in my spare room. It's the 3 amigo's in a 1996 That was the year of success. Peter is dressed in his checker black and red hunt pants, hunter orange coat, a drink in his hand and his shades. We were a pair. Peter and I shared the dishwashing duties in hunt camp, while John was the master chef. After this success, we progressed Peter to moose hunting. I remember the drive to Thunder Bay and Peter's fondness for Blue Rodeo songs. He would sing along in joy and with great passion. I remember our time spent together in Thunder Bay and the excitement in Peter's voice when he called the first moose to him. That crashing moose frighten him. I remember his concern about walking to our stands well before sun rise in the moon light. Deep down Peter was scared but he did not show it. I remember him as being a reliable hunt partner. One who would follow and stick to the plan established by the team. I remember him also being very coy about getting out from a ton of work to be done one year. Magically, Peter said he had to go back to camp and that he would be back soon. He didn't show up until the two young bucks completed the task. I remember Peter's fondness for my homemade salami and wine. He would always be in for a little Italian bread, salami and wine. Many of times we would have more than one drink, but we were always in control. As much as Peter was organized, he let us down on our moose trip. That was the trailer from hell year. I'm sure he told you about the 3 amigio's and how they almost spent the night in jail. Because at approximately 2:00 a.m.in a small northern town of Smooth Rock, one Peter Palin, did not have the correct paper work to prove to a female police officer, that he was the legitimate owner of the trailer we were pulling. Peter couldn't explain why the plate on the trailer and the colour was not the one on the registration. Lois during my relationship with Peter we often spoke about many things. Not all of them ended up in agreement. We repected each other's views and moved on. Although I have never met you, he also spoke about you on many occasions. He respected the fact that you understood and felt that it was necessary for him to share in the hunting experiences with his buddies. He was concerned about being away from you for extended periods of time. He spoke about your trips down south. Although Peter has not hunted with us for some time our memories of him will be remembered forever. On many occasions John and I still reflect on the memories of the past with Peter. In particular his expressions, actions, his accent, his distinctive tone and how he carried himself. He was a very knowledgeable man for which I'm sure you are proud of. He shared your home with my family while you were away once. He even shared a tour of his gun room with my 3 boys. Even though my boys were young then, that meomory is still clear to my sons today. I'm glad that Peter had the opprotunity to leave work early and to enjoy his last years in something that he cherished and that he got to enjoy his dream home with you. I'm glad that he had an opprotunity to give back to the community by being a volunteer with the local Fire Department. I, as a municipal partner am proud and respectful of his municipal contribution. I'm sure that there will be times from this point forward where the smallest things will remind you of him. Although it will not be the same, the memories will carry you through this time of sadness. We have memories of a man who contributed to society and provided guidance to everyone that he came in contact with. For me, I have memories of my first hunting buddy which I have lost. One who was respected for his knownledge and actions. Deleting his email address from my address book will be difficult, and a closure that came to early. He will be missed and spoken about forever. This year at moose camp, John and I will have a reflection of Peter's life and contributions to our hunting experiences. I'm sure that he would approve that we honour him and have a drink to Peter. Again my deepest sorrow and sympathy are with you and your family on this day. I am sorry that I could not make it to Peter's Memorial today, but my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today. Italo

Lois, Words just don't do this justice. I am so sorry that I didn't get a chance to be with you and with Peter this week. My business will also keep me from the funeral but please know I am with you in thought and prayer. The email lines have been burning up with memories of Peter. I have shed a number of tears but also have had many more smiles as I think about the wonderful times we had together. He was a true friend and I will miss him dearly. I was with my parents last night and was telling them about you prompting Peter to come to our poker night in December. Mom said God and you both knew inside this was important. Thanks for that. I will miss you Peter but your story will be told with fond memories around poker tables, on boats, and especially in Henderson hunt camps for years to come. Your friend always.......John

Lois, I will miss the great conversations Peter and I had on western history and firearms. His kind advice and support in this area helped me in creating my small collection in this mutual interest we shared. Peter was a gentleman and a straight shooter by every definition. I will miss him very much. Bill Chambers...Thornhill, Ontario
